I have been fortunate enough to receive an acceptance to a medical school, however, there’s something that’s bothering me. With this school, I placed in the program that would do clinical rotations at a community hospital very far away from the medical school, so far away that I would have to find a new place to live in MS3/4 years. The problem I have is that I want to do research as a medical student. Given that, is there typically research opportunities available for students at community hospitals, specifically ones that are specialty related? When I went to look at a particular department within the hospital, it didn’t have any information relating to any research conducted by faculty, it only gave clinical information. Given that I want to go into (at least at this time) a very competitive specialty, is this something that may preclude me from that (due to potentially not doing research the last 2 years)?
